A sky full of stars – chapter 11
Halliwell Manor

"I think it's not a good idea," Paige shook her head. "I should go with you..."
The youngest Charmed One didn't like the idea of her sister being alone with Cole in the Monte Pissis.
She couldn't trust Cole, not after everything that happened.
"No, you need to take care of your son," Piper protested. "I'll go with Cole, we'll get the sword, then come back home."
"You talk like it's simple," Leo said in concern.
"I'll be fine," Piper said softly, caressing her husband's face. "I promise. You know I need to do this. You said it by yourself, it's the only way to vanquish Lara."
"Are you sure this sword is powerful enough to help us to defeat her?" Phoebe asked.
"It'll worth a try," Cole finally said something. "We have to try something to save Ben."
Phoebe looked at him and cleared her throat. "I want Ben safe, Cole. I really want... Don't think I'm not worried about him..."
"Hey," Piper caressed her shoulder. "We all know that, Phoebs," she said softly, turning her face to Cole.
"He'll be fine..." Cole said with a sigh.
"We'll save him," Piper said firmly, walking to him. She held out her hand and Cole took it. "Are you prepared?"
Cole nodded. "Let's go," he said and they both disappeared through gray, dust-like particles.
"I don't know... Leo," Paige turned to him. "Maybe, I..."
"It's okay, Paige," Leo said softly. "They'll be back..."
"I hope so... Cole is desperate," Phoebe said in concern, rubbing her belly.
Paige looked up at her sister and cleared her thorat, "C'mon, Phoebs. You know Cole will be fine... You saw it," she said, with a little shake of her head.
"What?" Leo asked in confusion.
"Nothing," Phoebe said, rubbing the back of her neck. "Paige's babbling..."
Monte Pissis
"It's really beautiful," Piper said, looking around her. "And cold..." she added, embracing herself.
Cole nodded. "Yeah... and The Perfect Blade is here..."
The eldest Charmed One quickly reached for the crystal and the map in her pocket. "I'll scry for it," she said.
Cole watched, as the witch held the crystal pendant over the map.
It needs to work, he thought to himself.
Ben's safety depended on it. He would do everything to save his son.
Everything.
Suddenly, the crystal pulled down to a spot on the map. Piper looked up at him and let out a small grin. "I found it," she said, pointing to the map.
Cole nodded a little. "So, let's go!"
They held hands and Cole transported them to the top of the mountain. "Are you sure the sword is here?" he asked in concern.
Piper nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure... C'mon, let's to..." she was saying, when they heard a loud sound. "What the hell is that?"
Cole shook his head. "I don't know."
"We need to find the sword and get out of here," Piper said impatiently.
Her heart was telling her that something was definitely wrong.
"You're ri..." Cole's voice suddenly faltered. "Piper!" he yelled.
The Charmed One turned her back and saw a strange creature. "Cole!" she yelled, as the creature pushed her to the ground.
"Dammit it!" Cole shouted, as he ran to her.
He kicked the creature, who immediately turned his head to him. Then it let go of Piper and grabbed Cole with its large claws.
"No!" the Charmed One screamed in despair, as she saw the creature slammed Cole's chest, sending him flying to the cold ground.
It was pure instinct. Piper raised up her hands and blew it up. "Are you okay?" she asked Cole, sighing in relief.
Cole nodded. "I'm fine," he said, holding his chest.
"You're bleeding," she said, noticing the large gash on his chest.
"I'm fine, Piper," he assured her. "We need to get the sword."
She nodded, then started to dig with her bare hands. "I found it," she said in relief, as she saw the sword.
"We have the sword," Cole said with a slight smile.
Piper nodded. "Let's go, let's come back home. You need a Whitelighter to heal you."
